Showering Love on Mommy and Baby

I've been to a lot of baby showers...A LOT! When my sister-in-law Lauren and I decided to throw my other sister-in-law Charisa a shower we were so excited to have a shower for her that was full of special little details.

We started with lovely, handmade invitations. It took Lauren and I an afternoon to finish the invites but it was worth it. I was so pleased with how nicely these turned out.

Next was the bunting for the shower. I wanted the bunting to be sweet and girly but still classy. We tried to keep with greens and browns for the shower and I thought these fabrics were a lovely combination together. I put the baby's name on one side but the other side blank for a little versatility.

Lauren created the terrariums for the party. We decided they would be lovely table decorations and party favors. She found them easier to make then we thought they would be and made five of them! They worked out to be lovely gifts for the winners and we had one for Charisa to take home as well.

I made a couple of custom silhouettes for my sweet niece, a fawn and a squirrel. They made lovely decorations and I hope my sweet little niece will love them for many years to come.

Last but not least, my gift to my sweet niece and Charisa was this sweet little quilt. I wanted to make her something fun and bright and I adore how it came out! It was a lot of work but it was fun and I got to use my new embroidery machine even if I the date did end up covered by the binding. Oops!

Lauren and I had a lovely time putting together Charisa's shower and I know we both can't wait to meet our sweet niece Ada!

It looks wonderful. I love the colors in the banner and squirrel and deer picture. That quilt will be so loved!
my sis and I gave a tea themed shower...I made a tea bag wreath. I covered a wreath form w fabric and then hot glued clothes pins all around. The cloths pins held tea bags.
